Hey! Let me tell a story _(that happened about 5 mins ago 😅)_ - which better UX within the review queue would likely have helped avoid.

We had 12 items in the queue, and as usual I work through them in the order they are shown to me.

First in the list is a new user account that was flagged as a likely spam account - I checked their description and other details, and it felt “spammy”, so I deleted the profile.

5-6 items later, I find a first topic from this user 🙃 - and they’re a legit user, with a very real question 🫠

I can’t help but think that had the review queue grouped these items together, I would have made a very different decision about their profile.

Is it possible to add some indication in the queue for cases like this? Or a confirmation dialogue for the more “aggressive” actions. It’s not the first time I’ve accidentally deleted a user, or deleted and blocked them unintentionally.

Something like:

> This user has created X topics, Y posts, and engaged with Z conversations in the last ABC days.
> 
> Continue to delete?

Hmm… this is quite interesting. I wonder, what about something like ‘This user has other items in the queue. Would you like to review that first?’? Though it might seem as a form of encouragement to delete the user if they have more flagged items.

The insights tab shows how many post the user has made:

Maybe we can extend that area a bit.

insights are great yes, but having a moderation guide topic that is more up to date would certainly help with understanding the review queue better.

Agreed - I’m not sure what the exact UX should be here - but something’s missing in the current experience.

I imagine some sort of “grouping by user” that is more than just listing each item in order would help here.

If I’m honest, I tend not to use the insights 😅 The problem in this case is the fact the items were split within the queue - I’d expect multiple items in the queue related to the same user to be visually grouped together.

I’m not so sure this is a lack of understanding the review queue _(although up to date guides are helpful)_ - it’s purely the fact these items related to the same user are often split across the queue
